Okay, that’s it. Time to shut down Luka Doncic for the season. I don’t care if the Mavericks (who have a vested interest in pretend he’s healthy so they can sell more tickets) say he’s good to go. If my star rookie felt a pop in his knee and I didn’t even want to win…

Jalen Brunson 18 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (3/8/2019)
As of right now, the SRROTY (second-round rookie of the year) race is down to two players: Jalen Brunson and Mitchell Robinson.
